I am a PS3 owner and someday hope to be a PS4 owner, yet I am not at all dissatisfied with my choice to delay purchase, solely based on the current PS4 library.

3D environment all loaded with creativity and interactivity. The hero's
abilities and skills develop as the game advances. Over 40 power ups
andspecial abilities can be found throughout the game. Maximo can use
his shield to defend himself or throw it like a weapon. His shield can
also be powered up in many ways including everything from attracting
lightning to creating tornados. His sword can also be powered up, from
a simple increase in size, to calling a meteor storm from the sky, to
transforming it into a flaming blade to slice through enemies. A unique
character progression system enables players to customize and upgrade
their character with new skills, abilities, and weapons based on player
preferences. As Maximo ventures out on his quest, his appearance changes
as the game progresses. At different times, Maximo may be outfitted
to wear a helmet or earn new armor, be magically transformed into "old
man Maximo," "baby Maximo," or even find himself stripped down to his
underwear after losing his armor. Inspired by one of Capcom's most heralded
series ever, Ghosts'N Goblins, Maximo: Ghosts to Glory players will
recognize many features from the classic games. As Maximo progresses
through his journey he will encounter familiar looking bone towers,
red gargoyles, and if he's not careful, Maximo can even lose his armor
as he tries to complete an area with nothing but stylish boxer shorts
to keep him warm. The game features intense game play, and also injects
a clever sense of humor keeping the game entertaining and light-hearted.

"Maximo: Ghosts to Glory marks true gaming playability at its best
in an amazing 3D world. The intent was to create a game that's all about
fun," says Todd Thorson, director of marketing, Capcom Entertainment.
"It's not often a game comes along with such massive appeal. This is
due to a unique combination of amazing development talent, a brilliant
musical score, incredible graphics and artwork design from one of Japan's
most popular artists. Capcom has spared no expense to create this blockbuster."
